The Star Wars: The Old Republic Forums have posts from players having trouble cancelling their accounts for the MMORPG yesterday on the eve of when the one-month free accounts activated on the game's first day will be billed for their first paid month of service. Massively notes this thread with a workaround, and that customer service suggests customers with such issues contact them by phone. On the other hand, BioWare announces how not cancelling will earn players a "Founder" title, and the website now offers a video showing new features coming to the game in the future. In a separate bit of news related to the game, this post has word from the game's Live Community Coordinator that they have temporarily disabled posting for all community members on the Star Wars: The Old Republic Forums. No explanation for this is offered.

There's a chance that things go bad. It's not a big chance but it's there and it's not that small either. It all depends on how the stock market reacts if, and I mean if, SWTOR fails to accomplish its purposed goals by EA. Nothing may happen, stocks may lower a bit or stocks may take a huge plunge that cannot be turned over quickly enough.

It's not a big chance by far but of all EA risks it made this one is the most likely, up to date, to really cause serious and permanent hurt to EA. It's all on how investors will perceive SWTOR from now on.
